Bokma Oude Genever is a traditional Dutch genever speciality that reflects the classic character of this historic category of spirits. It is produced using traditional distillation methods and a carefully balanced selection of juniper berries and other herbs, which give the genever its characteristic flavour. Unlike modern gin, genever has its own distinct Dutch tradition and combines juniper aromas with a softer, rounder base flavour. Bokma Oude Genever also undergoes wood ageing, which imparts further depth and subtle woody nuances to the distillate. At 38 per cent, this bottling is well-balanced and is suitable both for traditional neat enjoyment and for classic cocktails.


The Bokma Oude Genever in the 1-litre bottle comes from the Netherlands and builds on the long history of genever production there. The term ‘Oude Genever’ describes the traditional production method and style, and should not simply be understood as an indication of particularly long ageing. Juniper and selected herbs, together with wood ageing, form the key elements of its profile. This results in a spirit that combines spicy, slightly sweet and woody notes. For lovers of traditional Dutch spirits, Bokma thus offers an interesting alternative to gin and other juniper-dominant distillates, bringing the classic Oude Genever style to the glass in a generous 1-litre bottle.

It is particularly well-suited to tastings, offering an opportunity to explore the differences between Oude Genever, gin and other juniper-based spirits.
